How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 golang-1.15 to version 1.15.7-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang-1.15 package and not the golang-1.15 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

Go before 1.14.14 and 1.15.x before 1.15.7 on Windows is vulnerable to Command Injection and remote code execution when using the "go get" command to fetch modules that make use of cgo (for example, cgo can execute a gcc program from an untrusted download).
